Seeking the Immortal Way

Lin Yan started to study the combined Tianshu Sword Art and amongst the sword moves, two of them combined, trying to find the most suitable pair of sword moves, but looking at the degree of compatibility between the sword moves, it did not seem to be perfect, there was always a kind of unexplainable sluggishness in the middle. Although it was small, if it was discovered by the enemy, it could be a fatal flaw.

Therefore, Lin Yan was still working hard to rationalize the swordsmanship and add in his own thoughts from within the sword. Although he failed time and time again, it did not affect Lin Yan's confidence at all. Lin Yan still felt that as long as he worked a little harder, he would be able to succeed.

There was no sense of time in the cave. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was very shocked. In their impression, this Yi Tianming was a genius killer of the younger generation. When he went out to complete missions, he never failed, and his movements were very clean. Furthermore, he always came back unharmed.

From the looks of it, he must have suffered some sort of serious internal injury. His hair was in a mess, as if something had neatly sliced through it, and he looked very neat, his clothes were tattered, and the black attire had already become a strip of cloth, revealing the abandoned inner armor that had cracks on it. His face was pale, and blood hung from the corner of his mouth.

Whether it was the elders or disciples of Thunderclap Hall, they were all shocked to see Yi Tianming return like this. They all stopped what they were doing and looked in shock at Yi Tianming as he walked in, whispering to each other.

"What's going on? Isn't that Senior Brother Yi Tianming? How could he be in such a sorry state? Just what kind of mission is so dangerous that even he would become like this? "

"I am not concerned about that. What I am concerned about is whether or not he has completed the mission. If he has not completed the mission and is even alerting the snake, that would be truly troublesome."

"I think I heard from the elder that Senior Brother Yi Tianming went to take care of the aftermath of Luo Chengen's fall. I heard that a piece of jade that played a key role fell into the hands of a disciple from a young sect, so Senior Brother Yi Tianming only needed to kill that person and bring the jade pendant back."

"That's right, I've heard about this as well. It was a very simple mission, and I heard that young man was only a Cultivation Level at the peak of the late period of Foundation Stage. I really don't know how Senior Brother Yi could have gotten into such a state."

"Perhaps, there is some other force behind that young man. Or maybe, this young man has the protection of an expert. That's why Brother Yi is in such a sorry state."

"I see that the person who attacked senior brother Yi is really afraid of the leopard's ambition. He actually dares to attack our Thunderbolt Hall's people. Don't you think he doesn't know the power of our Thunderbolt Hall?" How preposterous. "

"It's hard to say. As for what kind of expert this senior brother Yi has met, we have no way to know. Judging from his state, I feel that this matter isn't that simple."

Yi Tianming looked at the people around him, but didn't say anything. He walked around the crowd and arrived at the back hall, where his senior brother Dong Xinyu was staying. The two were disciples of the same sect and had a good relationship with each other.

Today, Dong Xinyu was practicing his sword skills in the yard. Yi Tianming stumbled into the yard and sat down weakly at the side.

Dong Xinyu wore a long black robe with a black veil covering his body. He was tall and had dark skin, and he held an ancient blade made of dark gold in his hand.

Not long after Yi Tianming sat down, Dong Xinyu retracted his sabre and stood in the middle of the yard. As he turned around, he saw Yi Tianming, who was sitting at the side and feeling extremely weak.

His left hand formed a palm and pressed onto Yi Tianming's shoulder. A trace of dense genuine essence was transferred into his body, examining Yi Tianming's body.

After a moment, Dong Xinyu immediately opened his eyes in shock. He hastily ran into his room and took out a brocade box. He took out a high-quality healing Pills and fed it to Yi Tianming.

Gradually, Yi Tianming's face regained some color. Although he still looked somewhat weak, his spirit seemed to have recovered a bit.

After doing all this, Dong Xinyu retracted his hand and asked Yi Tianming with a frown, "Junior Brother, where did you go?" How did this happen? "I remember that you always come back unscathed. How did you end up in such a sorry state this time?"

Yi Tianming let out a long sigh and briefly recalled what happened a few days ago, explaining the entire matter in detail to Dong Xinyu.

Dong Xinyu frowned when he heard this. Dong Xinyu would never believe it if someone told him about it, but Yi Tianming was his most trusted junior brother, and they were on good terms. Furthermore, he was injured to such an extent, so when he spoke, he was extremely serious, and did not seem to be lying.

"You mean to say, you were injured to this extent by a sect disciple with a peak level of late period of Foundation Stage? How is that possible? Could it be that he has something of the magical equipment level? " Dong Xinyu asked Yi Tianming in a testing manner. She secretly guessed that the enemy must have some amazing magic treasure in their hands. Otherwise, there was no way to explain this matter.

Yi Tianming shook his head and said, "Nope, he has two swords in his hands. One is a spirit sword, the other is a Symbol Sword, and he doesn't have any magical equipment. I was completely defeated by his swordsmanship, and at the same time, my two companions, Wu Haotian and Li Xiang, were killed."

"How is this possible?" Dong Xinyu was still in disbelief, he shook his head and said: "It's impossible for a peak late period of Foundation Stage expert to be this strong, even if he's a genius, he can only defeat an early stage Ethereal Opening Realm expert. But you three are all middle stage Ethereal Opening Realm experts, how can you not kill him, and instead get injured by him?"

Yi Tianming sighed once again and said to Dong Xinyu: "I can't figure this out either, but it's the truth, my two companions have already died under his sword, and I am not far from being killed by his Sword Qi, his sword moves are too powerful, my top grade spirit treasure inner armor and the long knife have already been destroyed by him, I had to escape from death to return to Thunderbolt Hall, if not, the two of us would really be separated by Yin and Yang."
